Noon.
Ministry of Finance.
The atmosphere in the annex building was tense.
In the corridor on the third floor, many staff members who were waiting outside hurriedly returned to their offices. Some county and city officials who were waiting in the rest area were also sent to a special reception room by the staff from the Ministry of Finance. Actually, they were isolated. They were afraid that some of them would go crazy and ask for money from the leaders of the Ministry of Finance. Now, the corridor was much quieter. In the end, a few more staff members ran out and quickly wiped the dirty things on the glass and picked up the scraps of paper on the floor.
Leader's inspection.
This was an important matter and must be done properly.
The offices in the annex building looked as if they were about to face a formidable enemy.
… …
Chief Qian's office.
Chief Qian looked at Dong Xuebing and the rest. "Don't go out first. Wait in my office. Oh, let me see your County's report."
Chen Xiaomei passed the document to Chief Qian. "Please take a look."
Chief Qian nodded and read the document.
Seeing this, Yan Yizhi sat down again and waited quietly.
Only Dong Xuebing was hesitating. From what they said, Xie Guoliang had returned? Why is he here for an inspection? In the end, he sat down and did not say anything. He knew what Chief Qian was trying to do. He is afraid they will stop the Finance Ministry's leaders from asking for the money, and the higher-ups will blame them for not doing their job well. That's why Chief Qian asked them to sit down and pretend to leave. Dong Xuebing sat down not because of Qian Yizhi. It was because he does not know how to face Xie Guoliang.
Ten seconds … …
Thirty seconds … …
One minute … …
Footsteps were approaching.
Chief Qian pretended to look at the document, but his ears were pricking up. He wanted to know when the leaders will arrive and leave. Normally, leaders will not disturb the departments and will not enter their offices during an inspection. But today's inspection was very thorough.
Creak … …
The door opened.
Zhang Hui and another staff member entered. "Chief Qian, the Leader is here!"
Chief Qian immediately stood up. "Are we going to inspect every office?"
A cadre next to Zhang Hui nodded. "I heard they're going to look into the smoking ban."
Director Qian heaved a sigh of relief. He never smoked in the office, so there was no smell of cigarettes in the office. "Okay, then you guys …"
As he spoke, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
"Department Head Xie!"
"Department Head Xie!"
"Director Sun!"
"Chief Zhou!"
Zhang Hui and the cadre quickly turned around and greeted the few leaders dutifully. Although they were also cadres, they were clearly not on the same level as the people in front of them.
Director Qian immediately came out to welcome him.
Chen Xiaomei also became nervous when she heard this.
It was the same for Yan Yizhi. His expression was slightly uneasy.
Only Dong Xuebing's expression is different from them. He looks helpless and wants to find a place to hide. But he felt it's not necessary as they are a family. Even if Xie Guoliang and Xie Huilan are interested in him, there's no need for him to hide from them. He thought for a while and stood still. He hopes Xie Guoliang will not see him.
After a while.
A few leaders from the Ministry of Finance arrived at the office's entrance. One of them walked in and saw no smoke, and the cleanliness was good. He left the office.
"Not bad." That person said after leaving the office.
Xie Guoliang nodded. "Let's continue."
One of the leaders asked. "Shall we go to the west wing?"
Xie Guoliang nodded. "Ok."
But when Xie Guoliang walked past Director Qian's office, he looked in and was stunned. His eyes stopped on Dong Xuebing's face.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. He could not hide it anymore and could only smile.
Xie Guoliang looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. He raised his hand and wanted to point at Dong Xuebing, but he did not. He just smiled and shook his head.
"Director Xie?"
"It's fine. Let's go."
"Ok."
The few leaders walked along the corridor.
Chen Xiaomei was at the back and whispered to Yan Yizhi. "Chief Yan, who is that man in the middle?"
Yan Yizhi replied softly. "It's Director Xie. He is the First Deputy Bureau Chief of the Ministry of Finance. I heard he will be promoted to the next rank this year."
Chen Xiaomei blinked. "Why did I see Director Xie smiling at Mayor Dong earlier? He even looked at Mayor Dong for a while. "
"Really?"
"Huh? I think I saw it."
"Really? I did not notice it. "
"Oh, I might have seen it wrongly."
Chen Xiaomei also felt it was not possible and did not say anything.
After the leaders left, Director Qian's face changed. "Ok. You all can go back. Next time, you all can submit the funds directly to the City Government."
Dong Xuebing glanced at Director Qian. He does not have a good impression of him. After that, he brought Chen Xiaomei and Yan Yizhi out of the office to the resting area.
"Mayor Dong, what should we do now?" Chen Xiaomei asked.
Yan Yizhi replied. "Go back now? It seems to me that they really don't have the money. "
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "Wait a while more. We still have not gotten the funds. Why should we go back?"
Yan Yizhi was about to say something when Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing waved goodbye to them and walked away. He looked at his phone and saw it was Xie Guoliang's number. He picked up the phone. "Hello, Uncle."
Xie Guoliang calmly asked. "When did you return?"
"Err … I just arrived yesterday afternoon. I have some errands to run."
"You are here to run errands? Are you here for money? "
"Huh? More or less. You should know about our County's situation."
"I know you had gone to Zhen Shui County. But why didn't you look for me when you are here?"
"I had called Xiao Jing. I heard that you are not back from your business trip and did not contact you."
Xie Guoliang laughed. "You are afraid that I will mention Xiao Jing's boyfriend? That's why you don't dare to look for me? Huh? "
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "No … No … I just want to visit you after I finish my errands. You and Aunt can scold me all you want."
"Haha … forget it. A few days ago, I went to Senior Dong's place for dinner, and he mentioned you twice in one day. I don't dare to scold you."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Uncle, don't say this."
"I am joking." Xie Guoliang laughed. "How is Sun Kai doing?"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and replied carefully. "He is fine. I had arranged a job for him, and he is doing well. He is hardworking and is willing to take hardships."
Xie Guoliang nodded. "He is like Xiao Jing. He is also stubborn."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "I think stubbornness is an advantage. Look at me … … Sigh … … Don't look at me. Oh, look at Grandpa … …"
"You brat, why don't you speak up for your sister?" Xie Guoliang helplessly said, "Fine, I'm not mad at you about Sun Kai. You're thinking too much, but try not to help him too much in the future. I need to see if this little brat can be helped up. Let's talk about the future in the future. You know our family's situation, it's not an ordinary family. Even if a normal person enters our family, they will have to leave with their tails between their legs. If that little brat Sun Kai and I are not satisfied with him, we won't be at ease leaving Little Jing to him. He's not like you, and that brat … I don't see any good points in him." These words were a tacit approval of Xie Jing and Sun Kai's relationship.
Xie Guoliang laughed. "Uncle, I didn't know you and Aunt are so open-minded. You are much better than Xie Huilan." Xie Huilan is the kind of person who will not listen to others once she has her own ideas.
Xie Guoliang replied. "Alright. I will tell Xie Huilan what you said."
Dong Xuebing got a fright. "Don't … … Uncle … … You are asking for my life."
Xie Guoliang laughed. "Alright. I still need to inspect my office. Wait outside for a while, and I will call you later."
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
"Ok. I will hang up first."
Xie Guoliang is not angry with him, and Dong Xuebing is relieved. No wonder Xie Guoliang is the kindest elder in the Xie Family. He is very understanding.
After returning to the office, Dong Xuebing waited with Yan Yizhi and the rest.
… …
Half an hour later.
Chief Qian's office.
Ring … ring … ring … the phone on the desk rang.
Chief Qian answered. "Hello. Who is this?"
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end. "I am Xie Guoliang!"
Xie Guoliang? Director Qian thought about it for a moment, then jumped up from his chair in shock. "Hello, hello, Director Xie!"
Director Xie?
Director Xie is calling me???
Director Qian was only the leader of a department. Although he had a lot of power, he could not compare to the leader of the Ministry of Finance. Other than reporting to Director Xie during meetings, he rarely interacted with Director Xie. Not to mention, Director Xie had personally called him. Director Qian felt a little flattered. He was a little nervous, and his mind was a little confused.
Xie Guoliang calmly asked. "Are the leaders from Zhen Shui County still at your office?"
"Ah? Zhen Shui County's leaders? Oh … … "Chief Qian quickly replied." I think they are outside and had just left for a while. I … I am not sure. "
Xie Guoliang said. "Go out and take a look. Bring them to my office. That's all."
"Ok … … Don't worry. I will do it now!" Chief Qian quickly replied.
What about those officials from the impoverished counties?
Why did Director Xie call for them?
Could it be that they went out and found Director Xie to stop her??
